Fast facts on Michael Carberry?

Question

Hampshire batsman Michael Carberry will tour Bangladesh with the England Test squad, and looks to be a good chance of filling an opening slot with captain Andrew Strauss rested for the tour. But what do we know about him?

Answer 1

The 29-year-old made 1,251 runs at 69.5 in the 2009 County Championship to catch the eye of selectors. The left-hander was called up as cover for Paul Collingwood in South Africa, but didn’t make an appearance in the starting XI. That could all change soon.
